What airgun related did you do today?

[Matchstickshooter]

I drove into Troy, Al. to pick up a few things for the fridge.
On the way back I spotted the pawn shop. They usually have a few airguns hanging on the wall in the corner.
They had some run of the mill plastic stock springers but I notice some wood showing in the back.
I asked to see it and it was a Crosman Sierra Pro .177 kit. Kit meaning that it sold with a Crosman 3-9x40 AO scope. And this gun still had that factory scope on it.
I asked if I could check the spring if I didn't fully cock it. The spring felt good. It has a few scratches in the stock but the finish looks really good. And no rust.
The hangy tag said $125. I offered $100 out the door. The young man looked it up to see what they had in it and took my offer.
I got home and put the groceries away and stepped out on the front porch to see how badly I burned myself. Only pellets I had on hand without going to my shop was a tin of 10.5 Piranhas. These things don't shoot good in any of my guns. But wth, I'm just seeing if the gun shoots.
Loaded one up, adjusted the AO, fine tuned the cross hair focus and aimed at an old hub cap hanging on the fence 30+ yards away.
TWANG !!! hole right through the hub cap right where I aimed.
Trigger felt good. No boingy boingy spring... just a good solid thunk.
Well lookie there... another great truck gun.

You scored!  Nice find!

Thanks, I think I did good.
Like I said, they did have some plastic springers and what may have been a black plastic Crosman pumper that looked like a 2100. You know, the stuff they sell at TSC or Walmart but I didn't even look at those. I've got plenty of that stuff around here.

I received the seal kit , made a valve tool, and rebuilt my new Crosman 105.
It's an earlier example, probably around 1949 but there's no real way to know for sure.

I went to my ENT for an ongoing problem with my lower right jaw.
He did a biopsy and will know in a couple of weeks if my cancer is back or not.

I feel like it is because nothing else is helping, even the kitchen sink.

Then there will have to be some decisions made as to the path forward.

Ron, good luck and prayers sent!
I am a survivor of a Lymphoma and my wife is a 2 time survivor of Endometrial Cancer. So far, so good.
 We're rooting for you!

You are in my thoughts...couple of weeks to good news

Took the drill to the other cell of my NOE68 eliminating the grease groove and making one continuous driving band on both (like the NSA 61.5gr).  Then I wrapped a smaller bit in steel wool and polished up everything.  Will cast some this weekend for the .3035 Challenger

 Some preemptive cleaning for the HW30s .22 barrel.
Played around with a new Hammers scope on a few different springers. Not sure where it will end up yet.

Polished the NOE68hp mold smoother where I have eliminated the lube groove and now have one thick driving band.  After sizing I have about 2 dozen at 67.25 +/- .25gr
Will see if they group any better in the .3035 Challenger soon.
Removed more pieces of Notos #2 and believe the cocking lever is sticking because one of the two tiny washer/bushings was missing from the lever where the main pin goes through the brass endcap.  I will measure and source tomorrow.

Nothing yet, and for sure there will be no shooting for at least a few days.

Weather is fine. I sprained my thumb yesterday (unrelated to shooting), grrrr. Totally preventable. Add me to the list of “DOH! Why wasn’t I more careful?!” regretters.

I think I can still cut potatoes in half for grilling, but the pork chop might get eaten a la Fred Flintstone. Look ma! No knife!

This pales relative to Ron’s lymphoma. Best wishes for knocking that one out, Ron! Also to Madd Hatter, belatedly!

Thank you Pat.
I'll know more about the plan of attack in a couple of weeks.
Right now it's pain killers and do the daily stuff.

LOL... I got such a mess from putting that wood stove in my shop that I can't even see an airgun to shoot.
Wish Betty Lou was home, she would embarrass me into cleaning it up.
